   I am not talking about some imaginary good old days vs now but using a 3rd party install process vs the official one in the context of installing Android applications. I think you would reach a fraction of the userbase with a 3rd party pro

   Do you think that you can easily reach the same userbase with a 3rd party installation process as the official app store one?

   This is exactly the reason I would have never considered to build any apps. I have had couple of ideas but the risk is to big that a faceless corporation is going cancel your business without any reason and visibility.

   I totally agree. I used to work for Amzn and the management was totally idiotic about remote work. We had to go to the office to be on call for datacenters 1000kms from the office. Makes perfect sense right?

   There is also the narrative vs facts problem. "It takes forever to build a nuclear power plant and it is very expensive" This is a narrative. "Lets compare how MW capacity / day (how long it takes to build) across differ

   Isn't this the Pareto principle in different flavour?

    "Government spent X on Y and it does not work" I guess this is a theme.

    Forking a project is creating a drama now? Was it the case when nodejs was forked? https://www.infoworld.com/article/2854642/nodejs-gains-a-new...

    Is blob an efficient type?

    Same to me. I was just wondering. To me the weird part is justified with the expressiveness and the clarity Erlang brings to the table.

    Just like heroin is widely used a recreational drug. We live in a free world and you can use Kafka as a persistent reliable store, even use it transactionally. Instead of reading the marketing claims I like to read what @aphyr has to say ab

    "The original use case for Kafka was to be able to rebuild a user activity tracking pipeline as a set of real-time publish-subscribe feeds. This means site activity (page views, searches, or other actions users may take) is published t

    Exactly because we read the documentation and we use it for things where losing data is acceptable. Just like using HyperLogLog acceptable in many scenarios, using Kafka also acceptable. I am quite baffled how widespread the misuse of techn

    I am not entirely sure what is the reason to make Kafka transactional. The original goal was to have a message queue that holds statistical data where the data loss cannot significantly alter the outcome of the analytics performed on the (o

    This sounds nice but in reality you need sophisticated grid controlling measures to have a fixed frequency for many things. This is doable just good to be aware of it.

    This is the most useful comment so far. I tend to agree. However, I still think that most frontend project are perfectly fine with mostly HTML + CSS and a tiny bit of JS.

    Why do we need a frontend framework? I am genuinely interested. The last project we used SSR and the sire ended up fast and snappy using a lot less energy than the previous similar project we used a JS based framework and we had all the fun
